#PicaTheCat has the vibes of a Roman high official who has been posted to some far northern backwater in England, surrounded by "uncultured" people. (us) who can't even run her palatial manner properly or deliver meals on time.

She is suffering so much poor creature.

That is how she is looking at me right now.

(I have added some photographic evidence of what she is like. Look at her!) #caturday #catsofmastodon #cat #cats #imperious #judgemental #leadership

On one of my shoulders sits a ghost that is very judgemental, reactive, and cautious.

On the other shoulder sits a ghost that is very accepting, empathetic, and friendly.

Both had a lot to say to me over the last few days. Thry both had good points.

It all starts with dad's house. He has let the house go. The roof is rotting. The drywall has fallen in from the ceilings. The plumbing, leaking. And he had an awful roommate.

"Of all the Foibles Youth and Inexperience is liable to fall into, there is none, I think, of more dangerous Consequence, than too easily giving Credit to what we hear: It is always the Source of a thousand Inadvertencies, and often leads the way to a numerous Train of destructive Passions.
If we cou'd bring our selves to depend on nothing but what we had Proof for, what a world of Discontent shou'd we avoid! Hope and Fear wou'd then be buried in Certainty; and Love and Resentment never be at Enmity with Reason. Whereas, by relying on Appearances (and, perhaps, such too, as are form'd only by our own Wishes and Apprehensions) we, for a seeming Good, embrace a real Evil, and run into Mistakes, which, without the Interposition of a peculiar Providence, must be fatal to our Interest and Peace of Mind, in whatever Affair we suffer our Belief to be impos'd on."

-- Eliza Haywood, The British Recluse

@rvaughnmd

This is not really new. There was research maybe 10-20 years ago about patients being more willing to "expose" personal history on a web form that they were unwilling to discuss with a human clinician (sexual history for example).

Also I'm pretty sure there was a similar study (without #AI claims) maybe ten years ago. With similar results... the #computer was perceived to be more empathetic.

My *personal* view: These studies are detecting flaws with human-to-human #communication.

#Emotions like #embarrassment and fear of being judged on the #patient side

Being #judgemental, use of #jargon, and lack of #empathy on the #clinician side

My two cents.
